This is a stable version of Fluxbox.
|
|
|
|
Fluxbox is a fork of the original Blackbox 0.61.1 sourcecode with
|
|
different goals.
|
|
|
|
Read NEWS to see whats new in this release.
|
|
|
|
For copyright information see COPYING
|
|
|
|
For more information and extensive documentation go to:
|
|
http://fluxbox.org/version-0.9.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compile and Install:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
and then as root
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
Configuration options:
|
|
|
|
For Gnome support ( default, does not require any gnome libraries ):
|
|
./configure --enable-gnome
|
|
|
|
Use ./configure --help to see the full list of options
|
|
|
|
For former blackbox users:
|
|
|
|
- You can use your old blackbox configuration file too. Just copy
|
|
.blackboxrc to ~/.fluxbox/init . The same goes for menu file.
|
|
|
|
- You can also use the Blackbox themes in Fluxbox. Fluxbox has a few
|
|
extra styleoption for the tabs but they don't have to be specified.
|
|
|
|
- The keys file is no longer compatible with bbkeys. There's a
|
|
convertkeys script at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/ that will
|
|
convert the bbkeys format to the fluxbox format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A few extra notes about the new features:
|
|
|
|
- To disable tabs and/or iconbar just change it in configure menu.
|
|
|
|
- To work with tabs, use the third mouse button to drag a tab to
|
|
another tab. This will group the two windows together.
|
|
|
|
- With 'Sloppy Window Grouping' turned on (in your configure menu),
|
|
you can drop the tabs anywhere on the target window to group
|
|
windows together.
|
|
|
|
- The 'Maximize over Slit' option means that maximized windows will not
|
|
stop at the outside border of the slit, and will instead cover it.
|
|
|
|
- In the init file, the session.screen0.rootCommand: option will
|
|
override the rootCommand option in a theme, keeping your background
|
|
the same, no matter what the theme says it should be.
